Spring is almost on our doorstep! And that means if you haven't already, the grass may be in need of its first trim. The first cut of the year doesn't have to be much, it's recommended you take no more than a third off the length. This can be a little tricky with uneven gardens, but a cut none-the-less will boost your grass into life.

For the lazy gardeners out there leave it as long as possible before the first cut so as not to encourage new growth. Or why not try leaving an area of long grass? If you cut a border around the long grass, or even a path or two through it, it still looks well managed and can fit into a well manicured garden. Manage My Garden signing out....
